Question Rebuild vs. replacement

I was reading up on richinny's post about reading manuals (so true by the way) and it got me to thinking. Before I make a decision about restoring Old Red's engine, tranny and transfer case, I should read up on the options available in a rebuild for all these. Old Red is my 1989 W-150 with a 318 c.i. 727 automatic trans (I think). I hope to begin the rebuild/replacement next fall. Does anyone have any suggestions for some nightstand reading in the meantime?

There is a series of books called "How to hot rod....." there is one for sb mopes that I know of. They are written by folks in their field of knowledge. I keep my reference manuals next to the can, I get more peace there! Thank you for taking rich's advice. My favorite saying is from a female friend of mine in the army, "Library cards are FREE, you have NO excuses!"

Exactly, or another easy one is go to amazon.com and type in Dodge 318 books, you know what I am saying. You'd be surprised the info that's available with a little digging.
